Throughout the pandemic, kids, teenagers, and adults alike have had to be more resilient than ever before. While we all are in this together, it can be a bit lonely at times. During the pandemic, we have relied on FaceTime calls and text messages to reach friends and family. However, these forms of communication are not always good enough.
For almost a year, former police officer Derek Chauvin has evaded the public eye after the killing of George Floyd. Now—nearly ten months after Floyd's death—all eyes are on Chauvin's murder trial, which began on Monday, March 29. For many, Floyd's death is a reminder of the systemic racism in policing that persists in modern-day America.
As the semester comes to a close, the search for co-ops and internships becomes more rigorous. I have fortunately been able to obtain a co-op for the fall cycle, relieving an immense load of stress from my shoulders — but I know the same cannot be said for a significant number of Northeastern students, let alone college students. Though reality hurts more than expectations, a large portion of students were unable to find co-ops last semester and had to ultimately push their co-op back another semester.
The rise of hate crimes against the Asian American and Pacific Islander community is appalling and disheartening. As an Asian woman myself...

The history of the feminist movement has always been centered around white women. The image of the “quintessential feminist” is typically linked to Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, two of the most famous advocates for women’s suffrage. However, these same two women were disapproving of the fact that Black men would get the right to vote ahead of white women.
The media and entertainment industry has seen an unprecedented number of positive movements in gender equality, as well as an awakening as...
Every Feb. 28—and sometimes Feb. 29—the clock strikes midnight and thus begins the annual Women’s History Month. Since 1980, the month of March is dedicated to celebrating the achievements and contributions of women, no matter how big or small. Even though it may seem obvious, many people tend to question why it is necessary to dedicate a whole month to women. To put it shortly: every month is men’s history month.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, discrimination towards Chinese Americans has spiked. From unprovoked attacks to racial slurs, some have even been killed as a result of the violence that has ensued, motivated in part by "biases pertaining to the coronavirus pandemic" ( ABCNews ).

However, after watching the show from start to finish, I now understand that if they had revealed too much in the synopsis, they would have given important aspects of the show away.
I watched “Normal People” on Hulu last week and absolutely fell in love. While each episode is roughly a half-hour, they somehow seem much longer (but in a good way). “Normal People” showcases a plotline we’ve seen in countless romance shows and movies—the nerdy, shy girl falls in love with the popular jock—but their story is told in an extraordinary way.
In honor of Women’s History Month this March, here are 15 movies you can watch on Netflix right now with strong female lead characters.
When Asian-Americans speak up about the rise of anti-Asian hate crimes, they're met with gaslighting tactics, but these words translate to real-world consequences.
Even COVID-19 couldn't stop fashion week.
